  1. Survival data are median, p values and HRs for sunitinib- and sorafenib-treated groups are both come from multivariable analysis, they compare higher biomarker group to lower biomarker group; pinteraction values are come from multivariate analysis (Cox model analysis) to assess the potential differential effects of immunostainings between the two treatment groups.
